Gambling has come up again in legislative meetings in Alabama. It seems like the House and Senate are ignoring one other once again.

The issue, which has evaded attempts at settlement for decades, is being considered by legislators. A senator has stated his intention to introduce a measure that addresses the matter comprehensively, but no legislation has been submitted as of Wednesday afternoon. On the other hand, members of Congress have stated their intention to uphold the legislation as it is.

I wish someday there will be land-based Casinos in Georgia. Maybe someday it will come true.

Its as expected in a conservative and more traditional state - and representation matters too. Its their loss though- states with gambling have been getting millions in additional funds for social and economic programs and helps the local economy.

The gambling bill now heads to the conference committee for negotiation. They hope to reach a compromise that will get bipartisan support.

zzzzzzz

Oh sorry, I was looking at timelines on gambling measures in Alabama.

 

Kidding aside, I do hope they finally go ahead with this, they are losing out on other states in gaming revenue, which can get even higher than sports betting in some months.

I like reading and contributing to sportsbook reviews, and other things that interest me, like books and films. Love the challenge of betting especially when it comes to basketball and football.
